Generation and pre-clinical validation of customized bone grafts produced in 3D-printed bioreactors

Classical tissue engineering strategies are patient-specific, thus clearly associated with inherent limits: a time-consuming graft production and a complex/costly production. Most importantly those cell-based strategy only allows for autologous use of the generated grafts. Here, we will validate the large-scale production and pre-clinical performance of a unique bone graft substitute.

Objective and Quantitative Assessment tools for ADHD and ASD

We are developing objective and quantitative measurement tools that measure cerebellar function in combination with a modernized motor assessment test. We believe this can potentially revolutionize the way we assess and study ADHD and ASD – two diagnoses that cover several hundred thousand children in Sweden alone. In fact, our
